The Poetics of Space

Loved and regarded by philosophers, architects, writers, and literary theorists alike, Bachelard's lyrical, groundbreaking work examines the places where we place our conscious and unconscious thoughts, guiding us through a stream of intellectual meditations on poetry, art, and the blossoming of consciousness itself. Houses and spaces; basements and attics; drawers, chests, and wardrobes; nests and shells; niches and corners: No space is too large or too small to be filled with our thoughts and dreams. With an introduction by the esteemed philosopher Richard Kearney and a foreword by the author Mark Z. Danielewski.
